#2024 just came across this 💎 for the first time and am thinking this poet's slam was waaaaaaay ahead of it's time as FB, IG and TT etc are currently responsible for breaking up relationships, marriages, friendships etc left & right

Smelly butt
it's been a long journey and still remains
This is unbelievably good… gosh!!
